Dear neighbor,
In a few months time it will be up to you to decide if I am the right person for the job of representing our district in Congress. It’s a job I don’t take lightly, and one that I intend to do with every resource at my disposal. One of my best resources is my deep experience in fields that are relevant to the job of a Congressman.
I grew up in a house led by my single mom who brought me to America at the age of 6. The Recession got me out of the house at 16, and to an early start in life. I didn’t complain — instead, I turned this onrush of adulthood into countless opportunities. I hope the resumé you see below will help give an idea of what I mean — and of exactly the kind of person you would have representing you in Congress if you hire me.
